Economics and Access Speed: Key Requirements for Low Capacity HDDs in the Data Center

As the industry evolves to develop purpose-built solutions for growing data storage requirements, IT managers continue to rely on lower capacity drives that are economical to acquire, yet deliver quick and reliable data access for traditional data center applications. Ultrastar® 7K6 is a low-capacity HDD, with 6TB and 4TB offerings, that helps address economic and access requirements of many traditional IT workloads. Low capacity drives also help address architecture limitations. The Ultrastar 7K6 is designed for traditional storage and server applications as well as distributed and scalable computing, including block and file storage architectures, providing fast 7,200 RPM performance and lower acquisition cost to help ease budget constraints. Ultrastar 7K6 is offered with either 6Gb/s SATA or 12Gb/s SAS interface in a choice of 512e or 4Kn formats. A 512n option is also available on 4TB models to support legacy systems with native 512-byte block sizes.

 

Technology Innovation Delivers Efficiency and Performance for Traditional and Legacy Systems

Ultrastar 7K6 is based on a new 4-disk air platform design that uses conventional magnetic recording (CMR) technology in a 3.5-inch large form factor. Compared to the prior generation, Ultrastar 7K6000, the 7K6 delivers a 12% performance boost and uses slightly larger-diameter media. It features a second-generation, dual-stage micro actuator to enhance head positioning accuracy for better drive performance. Write performance gains are also supported by Western Digital's media cache architecture, a disk-based caching technology that provides a large cache area on the disk, which also improves reliability and data integrity during unexpected power loss. Finally, the addition of flash-based non-volatile cache (NVC) on both SATA and SAS models helps improve write performance. The Ultrastar 7K6 also includes a Rebuild Assist feature, which helps dramatically reduce RAID rebuild times and maintain system performance during the rebuild process. Learn more in our Rebuild Assist technical brief.

 

Data Security with Trusted Quality, Reliability

Compliance and privacy requirements drive the need for increased data security. Ultrastar 7K6 helps protect data from unauthorized use by offering security and encryption options. SAS models offer hardware-based encryption options, including a Trusted Computing Group (TCG) Enterprise_A, TCG with FIPS 140-2 certification, Level 2. The Ultrastar 7K6 extends Western Digital's long-standing tradition of reliability leadership with a 2M-hour MTBF2 rating.

A Very Good NAS Drive at a Good Price

HDD Capacity: 18TB

Although not on the supported list for Synology DS218+ at time of purchase, it has performed very well since installed. Highly recommended.

It stores the stuff you want to keep

HDD Capacity: 12TB

Bought a couple of these back in October 2021 and are still going strong (as one would expect)
Can't comment on the noise as far as yes they make hard drive noises.
Not that it is a bother as I have the computer that houses it, in another location.

5 year warranty is what I was looking for and these enterprise drives have it.
Similar to the WD Reds or Ironwolf "NAS" drives.
At the time of purchase, this proved to be a better buy as it had 2 years extra warranty and 2tb more storage for a few dollars more.

Very happy with the purchase!

5 year warranty, lots of space at an ok price

HDD Capacity: 18TB

I have installed a few of these in a large NAS and one in a home storage PC.

Performance is pretty good and I expect over time I will be buying more.
Price per TB feels pretty good and I have found Western Digital warranties have been reliable and if things fail they have always come through.

Great drive for NAS

HDD Capacity: 12TB

Very happy with these drives. They run significantly cooler than the Seagate Ironwolf drives I have deployed. Will be switching fully to these Ultrastar drives for my NAS going forward.
